Robinson Cano is returning to New York as the Mariners visit the Yankees for a three-game series beginning Tuesday and the $240 million man will be a guest on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” tonight on …. corporate synergy drum roll please … NBC.

Emma Stone is the show’s other guest, which is more evidence that Cano is living right.

As for his on-field work, Cano has just one home run 24 games into his 10-year contract with the Mariners, but he’s hitting .301 with a .353 on-base percentage (his career marks are .309 with a .355 OBP) and has been on fire recently.

My spidey-sense tells me that Robinson is not getting any pitches to drive out of the park because there is not anybody else in the lineup that causes concern to the opposing pitchers. He is not hitting a lot of doubles either, a change from when he was always among the league leaders. He’s a $240 million dollar banjo hitter. What’s the over-under on when he starts to tell the Mariners to either get him some batting support or trade him?

Well, the first part of that request, the “get me some support” part, started in Spring Training before he had even played in a single real game for them. I imagine he’ll wait until at least the upcoming off-season before adding the “trade me” part.
